" And Abraham gat up early in the
morning to the place where he stood before the
LORD: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah,
and toward all the land of the plain, and
beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went
up as the smoke of a furnace." Genesis 19:27-28

More
than Geological Layers

In the early 1980's Ron Wyatt (well known explorer) noticed the strange appearance of some "formations" as he passed along the shores of the Dead Sea. They looked to him like city walls and buildings, only whitish in color.
For many years, he did nothing about his suspicions but in 1989, Ron discovered something that convinced him that these whitish colored formations weren't just geological formations.
Ron
found a road that had
been cut through some of
the whitish material and
the freshly exposed
interior of the material
displayed a layering
effect which swirled in
such a manner as to make
it obvious that these
were more than
geological layers.

Were the Sites Located?

In
searching the Bible for
clues to their
locations, Ron and his
wife Mary Nell found
scripture references
that mention four of the
cities as forming part
of the boundaries of the
Canaanites:

"And the border
of the Canaanites was
from Sidon, as thou
comest to Gerar, unto
Gaza; as thou goest,
unto Sodom, and Gomorrah,
and Admah, and Zeboim,
even unto Lasha." ......Genesis
10:19

It would be strange for
Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah
and Zeboim to each be
listed as boundary
markers if they were all
in the same general
location, at the south
end of the Dead Sea. It
is logical that the
cities would be located
at some distance from
each other in order for
it to be necessary to
include each of them as
boundary markers.

Ron's
location of the sites he
had found were, indeed,
scattered over a
distance of over fifty
or more miles. One of
them was located North
of Jericho which was in
perfect accord with
scripture which
indicates that Zeboim
would be located North
of the Dead Sea.

"And Saul, and
Jonathan his son, and
the people that were
present with them, abode
in Gibeah of Benjamin:
but the Philistines
encamped in Michmash.
And the spoilers came
out of the camp of the
Philistines in three
companies: one company
turned unto the way that
leadeth to Ophrah, unto
the land of Shual: And
another company turned
the way to Bethhoron:
and another company
turned to the way of the
border that looketh to
the valley of Zeboin
toward the wilderness."
.....1 Samuel 13:16-18

Later in 1989, Ron and
Mary Nell Wyatt
visited the site just
below Masada and took
samples of the whitish
material which broke
right off in their hands
and disintegrated into
particles the
consistency of talcum
powder. At that
time, Mary Nell actually
found one of the
brimstone capsules
imbedded in a piece of
compacted ash, however,
no conclusion was drawn,
at that time, as to what
it was.

In October of 1990, Ron
Wyatt and Richard Rives
returned to area.
As they examined the
area below Masada they
discovered that it had
just rained. As
they wandered through
the area, Richard saw
what looked like an open
room or cave at some
distance and as they
approached the vicinity
of the cave they
came upon a very large
chunk of ash that had
just recently fallen
from a high section -
probably because of the
recent rain. As
Ron stopped to view this
he saw numerous
yellowish balls inside
this broken ash, all
surrounded by a
reddish-black, crusty
ring. Prying one out, he
recognized it as sulfur.
On closer examination,
now knowing what to look
for, it was found that
all through the ashen
remains were round balls
of encapsulated sulfur
(brimstone).

After
the discovery of the
brimstone. Wyatt
Archaeological Research
began a study to see if
brimstone was found in
this form anywhere else.
Ron and Mary Nell Wyatt
along with Richard Rives
went to the Smithsonian
Institute, in Washington
D.C. and examined their
display of sulfur in its
various forms, none
being rounded balls of
powdered sulfur. In
addition, none of them
were encapsulated.
A request was granted by
the Smithsonian that
specimens other than
those on display be
examined. This
collection of sulfur
from around the world,
consisted of over fifty
specimens.
None of them displayed
the characteristics of
the brimstone sulfur
found in the vicinity of
the "cities of the
plain."

Earlier Report of the
Sulfur Balls

Ron
Wyatt was not the first
person to discover
brimstone near the Dead
Sea. When William
Albright and Melvin Kyle
set out to find the
cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah in 1924, they,
too, found these pieces
of brimstone at Southern
end of the Dead Sea.

"...a region on
which brimstone was
rained will show
brimstone. Well, it
does; we picked up pure
sulfur, in pieces as big
as the end of my thumb.
It is mixed with the
marl of the mountains on
the west side of the
sea, and now is to be
found scattered along
the shore of the sea
even on the east side,
some four or five miles
distant from the ledge
that contains the
stratum. It has somehow
scattered far and wide
over this plain."
"Explorations at
Sodom" by Dr.
Melvin Kyle, 1928, pp.
52-53.

Neither
was Marvin Kyle the
first to observe the
ashen remains. The other
record of these cities
comes from Josephus in
his "Wars of the
Jews", Book
IV, Chapter VIII:

"Now this
country is then so sadly
burnt up, that
nobody cares to come at
it;... It was of old a
most happy land, both
for the fruits it bore
and the riches of its
cities, although it be now
all burnt up. It is
related how for the
impiety of its
inhabitants, it was
burnt by lightning; in
consequence of which there
are still the remainders
of that divine fire; and
the traces (or shadows)
of the five cities are
still to be
seen,..."

Josephus' description
perfectly describes what
can be seen at these
ashen sites:

"...It be now all
burnt up."

The account of
destruction of Sodom,
Gomorrah and "all
the plain" was
not a fairy tale. It was
an historical event that
occurred exactly as the
Biblical account
presented it. Not only
that, but the evidence
remains, as Peter wrote,
as an "ensample [a
visual example] unto
those that after should
live ungodly".
They provide the entire
world with the evidence
of, as Jude wrote, "the
vengeance of eternal
fire."

Bearing
this in mind let us
consider the writings of
Malachi who wrote of the
final reward of the
wicked:

"
...behold, the day
cometh, that shall burn
as an oven; and all the
proud, yea, and all that
do wickedly, shall be
stubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn
them up, saith the LORD
of hosts, that it shall
leave them neither root
nor branch."

"
But unto you that fear
my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with
healing in his wings;
and ye shall go forth,
and grow up as calves of
the stall. And ye shall
tread down the wicked;
for they shall be ashes
under the soles of your
feet in the day that I
shall do this, saith the
LORD of hosts."
......Malachi 4:1-3
